Took advantage of today's so-called 'half-day' holiday to settle PS stuff and catch up on sleep. Originally intended to catch up on homework as well but PW and PS intervened and demanded my attention. For stress relief, my sister convinced me to watch 2 more episodes of 'Fruits Basket' over dinner. Gah. That series, I swear, is even more candy-flossy (i.e. fluffy and unbearably, sickeningly sugary) than CCS. It beats CCS for pure fluff shoujo-ness; I don't know why we are still downloading that thing. Maybe we watch it just so that we can roll our eyes and groan everytime the screen gets invaded by fluffy pink bubbles...
I've made an estimate. More than 9 GB of data have been downloaded into our computer over the past month. My, we certainly have been maximising utility on our new broadband connection. But of course, the satisfaction of old wants has only led to the creation of new wants; it's amazing how much time I can waste on the internet. Now that I can download mp3s in a few minutes (a far cry from the bad old 56K days), I've begun downloading entire video files, which typically take a few hours, so in the end there are no net time savings. (Did I just make a bad pun? I think I did.)
My goodness. Alertness brought on by sufficient sleep feels
good. I daresay that'd all change by tomorrow, though.
Eeks. Tomorrow. I'll be missing Bio lecture on photosynthesis (among other lessons) because of some TCHS board of directors investititure... argh. Dare I say, waste of time? No choice really. Price to pay for leaching off school money.
